For the Laparoscopic Vaginal Hysterectomy procedure where I said I billed 58260 with 58661-50x2. I reviewed this surgery with my co-worker and manager and we came up with 58552 being the correct code to bill. The documentation stated that the utero-ovarian ligament was cut during the laparoscopic approach, so this would be an LAVH procedure.
The reason for 58661 being billed twice with modifier 50 is because of payor guidelines. Some insurances want you to bill bilateral services on 2 separate charge lines with modifier 50 or LT and RT modifiers. You have to follow the payor guidelines when billing bilateral services.
If you guys have any other questions, feel free to leave them down below in the comments!
